CIGAR-BUNCH MOLD.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent NO. 313,330, dated March 3,1885.

Application filed September 20, 1884. (No model T all whom it mayconcern:

Be it known that I, CARL H. HAUGK, of Brooklyn, county of Kings, andState of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCigar-Bunch Molds, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to certain improvements in the cigar-bunchmold for which an application for Letters Patent has been filed by meheretofore, Serial No. 134,812, dated June 14, 1884, the invention beingdesigned wit-h a view to cheapen the construction of the mold. Thebunch-mold heretofore employed was made of one solid block, into whichthe head-shaping openings were bored. This required a block of goodsound wood, without any cracks, which was connected with some expense.

The object of this invention is to substitute a number of smaller piecesof wood for the solid block, and connect them in a suitable manner, andthe invention consists of a cigarbunch mold made of a series of stripsor sections, which are connected by transverse screws and provided witha series of vertical socket-holes that are bored through the block atthe meeting edges of the strips.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view ofmy improved 3o cigar-bunch mold. Fig. 2 is a plan, and Fig.

3 a vertical transverse section of the same on line 00 :0, Fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, A A represent a number of strips of wood,that are tightly connected by transverse screw-bolts B, of wood, iron,or other suitable material, that unite the strips into one block. Aseries of vertical o head-shaping socket-holes, a a, are bored into theblock at the meeting edges of the strips,

said socket-holes being provided at the lower end with narrow openingsI) b, through which the air escapes when the cigar-bunches, inclosed bytheir wrappers, are inserted into the 5 mold, so as to give the propershape to the head of the bunches. Molds of this construction can bemanufactured cheaper than when the block is made of one solid piece, andoffer, furthermore, the advantage that cigar-bunches U differingslightly in size can be shaped in the same mold by interposing betweenthe strips forming the mold layers of card-board, by which the size ofthe holes is increased to some extent, so that a larger size of bunchescan be shaped in the mold.

Having thus described my invention, I claim "as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- In a cigarbunch mold, one or more longitudinal stripsprovided on each edge with a series of concave depressions extendingdownward from the top of the strip and having at their lower endssemi-cylindrical air-outlet grooves, two longitudinal strips havingsimi- 1M depressions and grooves in one face only, adapted to form theouter members of said mold, said depressions and grooves registeringwith each other whenthe parts are assembled, and forming cigar-bunchhead-shaping apertures wit-h air-outlet openings at their apiees, incombination with transverse screwbolts passing through suitableapertures in the strips for securing the parts in position,substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

CARL H. HAUGK.
